Author's Note: Just to let all the readers who reviewed and said that Henry can't turn Vicki because of the whole 2 vampires on each others territory. Well, get that out of your mind! Tis' MY story and I am going to be making up the rules. I'm not trying to be rude, but hey, it is my story. So...yup. Here's chapter 3! It is very short and I'm sorry. ;P
"Vicki, go home and get some rest. I'll handle the rest of the paperwork." Coreen said.
They had just finished a kidnapping case, well, technically Henry had finished it.
Lately, Henry was being overprotective. Vicki, didn't really mind, but he wouldn't even let her go into the bathroom to go pee by herself. It made her feel like she was being smothered with a pillow. She had told him to back off and give her some space, but he'd only listen for about 2 days and then it was back to the smothering.
"Coreen?"
The Gothic girl looked up at her boss.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think I'm overreacting about Henry?"
The girl shrugged.
"If I were you, I wouldn't really be bothered by it. But, since I'm not you, and you are you and I am me. I don't think you're overreacting at all." She smiled.
Vicki nodded. She slowly got up, placing her left hand on her ribs. Her ribs didn't hurt as much as they did last week. They were still obviously sore, but not that bad. Vicki just wished that they would heal faster. She had to get a cast for her right arm, which was fractured. That was what hurt the most. Well, that and her heart. Every minute, when she was at the hospital she kept thinking about the fight she had had with Celluci. She had chosen Henry over him. She had told herself time and time again, that she wouldn't choose between the two men who had one her heart. But, the truth was, Henry was the one who had her whole heart. Mike had half of her heart. Besides, she could tell that Celluci had started to take an interest in Kate, his new partner.
When Vicki woke up it was the next night. Hmmm...how come Coreen hadn't called to wake me up? She thought. She turned her head and saw Henry sitting cross-legged on the edge of her bed, just staring at her.
"Hi." He smiled and handed her her glasses, which she immediately put on.
"Hey." She yawned. Even though she had gotten 12 hours or more of sleep she felt like she had just went to sleep.
"You're pushing yourself." He stated. "You need more rest. You can't keep pushing." Vicki sat up in bed and flinched. "Told you."
Her entire body was screaming. She wasn't going to admit it but she agreed. She was pushing it. She took her glasses off and laid back in bed. Henry slid closer to her and laid down next to her, wrapping his arms around her gently, making sure he wasn't touching her ribs. She could feel him growl slightly as he laid his head in the crook of her neck.
"You haven't fed." It wasn't a question. He nodded. She moved her arm so that it was in front of his face, but he pushed it away. "C'mon. I know you're hungry." He sighed. She was right, he was very hungry. He brought her wrist up to his lips. He could hear the blood pumping through her veins as he let his teeth sink into her skin.
